Recording/reproducing system

Abstract

Time varying images 712 before coded are rearranged in a coding stage into unitary images 722 having the sequence of time stamps DTS 725. A GPS or the like provides position information indicative of the position whereat the respective unitary image of a motion image has been captured. The unitary image and the position information are correlated to one another by setting common time stamps PTS (724 and 723) thereon. When decoding each of blocks of coded and multiplexed data 731 to 735, the position information corresponding to the unitary image is specified. Thereby, the unitary image of the coded motion image and the corresponding position information are correlated to one another, whereby a trajectory of the motion image can be displayed on a map in accordance with the position information.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a recording and / or playback system. More particularly, the invention relates to a recording and / or playback system, an information generating apparatus, a recording apparatus, and playback apparatus that code and decode time series information (such as a motion image data), to a processing method therefor, and to a program for causing a computer to execute the methods.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Hitherto, there have been known apparatuses of the type having such a function that uses a GPS (global positioning system) to acquire a current position information and that provides a correlation between the position information and map information, thereby to display the current position on a map. In recent years, imaging apparatuses of the above-described type, such as digital cameras, having the GPS function have been proposed. In an imaging apparatus of that type, concurrently with capturing of an image, position information corresponding to...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables the accurate correlation and display of motion image trajectories on a map, ensuring that unitary images and their corresponding position information are correctly linked, even after decoding, facilitating efficient recording and playback.

Problems solved by technology

As such, an undesirable can take place where respective blocks of unitary information in the time series information (motion images, for example) are not necessarily arranged in the time series sequence.

Accordingly, in the case that the respective blocks of unitary information, i.e. time series information, are rearranged, a problem occurs in that it makes it difficult to provide correlations between the respective blocks of unitary information and position information.
